The Smalltalk for those who can type

gnu sed

About a month ago, I released GNU sed version 4.2.2 and included in the release a "rant" (more of a criticism, perhaps—I'm not a native speaker) about the state of the GNU project.

I made it clear that I had no philosophical disagreement with FSF; in fact, that's likely the reason why almost no one took my post as an occasion to attack the FSF and Richard Stallman. To the few that did: guys, you clearly missed the point. I wrote that text because I want free software and the FSF to be successful. My concern is that if GNU loses, the FSF loses—even if some other piece of free software happens to win.
